Email Transfer Question

I have two cPanel servers each having a user account with matching names. I want to move the mail for jesse@domain.com (server1) to jesse@domain.com (server2). Email accounts exist on both servers, I just need to transfer the inbox.

If you simply need to transfer the inbox, you could scp the contents of /home/username/mail/domain.com/emailuser/cur and /home/username/mail/domain.com/emailuser/new to the new machine. Here replace username with the cPanel username, domain.com with the domain name, and emailuser with the email account username.
